[Verse 1: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
Coming from a city where bullets turn bros into souls
~#**************#~
Who knew from that concrete that a rose had arose
~#**************#~
Good girls stopped being good when I turned em into hoes
~#**************#~
Dreams stopped being dreams when I turned em into goals
~#**************#~
BIG was the first one that had it
~#**************#~
Then I saw Nas chain, man, that was Illmatic
~#**************#~
Then I saw Kanyes hanging from his gold necklace
~#**************#~
Then Ye gave me mine, that show you my work ethic
~#**************#~
Mom had that hooptie that she ran in the dirt
~#**************#~
Used to pick me up from school, man, right after work
~#**************#~
Now she rolling up in that Caddy like she coming to church
~#**************#~
She asked why I rock all this gold, cause Im coming in first
~#**************#~
Got the streets behind me like I was staring in the rear-view
~#**************#~
Used to have to take showers standing in the mildew
~#**************#~
Now Im in the penthouse, look at what a mill do
~#**************#~
Looking in the mirror and Im still you, Im still you
~#**************#~
[Hook: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
Got my first chain
~#**************#~
Feeling like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
BIG was the first one that had it
~#**************#~
Now Jacob the Jeweler benefit from my habits
~#**************#~
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Nas]
~#**************#~
Whats the noise all about with this rap stuff?
~#**************#~
I can say I never been punked, robbed or smacked up
~#**************#~
I can say I never been chased, jumped, or backed up
~#**************#~
I learned to patch it up to get passes to niggas who be acting up
~#**************#~
‘Cause its a mental game
~#**************#~
I learned that when I got my first initial chain
~#**************#~
I didnt fake it, it was gold plated, I was posing relatin
~#**************#~
To those dealing with blow, had the big gold, bold anchors it was those gangsters
~#**************#~
That bonus, that culture, those projects
~#**************#~
Shiny shit on their necks, making both of my eyes squint
~#**************#~
They got in my bones, now Im copping stones
~#**************#~
Sorry Sierra Leone, one day well right the wrongs
~#**************#~
18 karat gold Cuban on
~#**************#~
Not too short, not too wide, not too long
~#**************#~
My pendant offensive, in the truest form
~#**************#~
Platinum gold, rose gold, what you want?
~#**************#~

[Verse 3: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
On a highway to heaven, look at all the tolls I paid
~#**************#~
I done gave my city drive all the roads I paved
~#**************#~
No matter what way I turn things go my way
~#**************#~
Im rocking chains everyday, so you know I slave
~#**************#~
Even when Im just walking round the crib, nigga
~#**************#~
To remind me of everything that we did, nigga
~#**************#~
Look up in the mirror, chain only thing lyin
~#**************#~
No heroes where Im from, bullets only thing flyin
~#**************#~
I know the higher the goal, the harder the climb
~#**************#~
But after that, the bigger the muscle and smarter the mind
~#**************#~
Police only work 12-hour shifts
~#**************#~
‘Cause in Detroit thats cheaper than the bailout, bitch
~#**************#~
Trap house built brick by brick, paid dues on dues
~#**************#~
FF, GOOD, you know Im reppin crew on crews
~#**************#~
Stack bills on bills til my backyards got pools on pools
~#**************#~
Girls on girls, lingerie and Moulin Rouge
~#**************#~
God damn, I think Im gon O.D
~#**************#~
Off this asparagus and bread and pasta
~#**************#~
Need a doctor, Ive been dodging shady hoes and rainy days
~#**************#~
Its like I got a built-in doppler
~#**************#~
And its a shame, a fuckin shame
~#**************#~
I dont remember my first love or my first time prayin
~#**************#~
But remember my first ass and the first time she came
~#**************#~
It almost felt as good as when I got my first chain
~#**************#~
[Hook: Big Sean]
~#**************#~

Feeling like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Big Sean]
~#**************#~
Jay-Z taught me money aint a thing
~#**************#~
Came from the streets, headed to the hall of fame
~#**************#~
And I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
I be stunting, stunting like I got my first chain
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Kid Cudi]
~#**************#~
Its such a wonderful thing, to see the end of all things
~#**************#~
Niggas and bitches are with you cuz where you at?
~#**************#~
I got my mind is on me, a couple others and dreams
~#**************#~
Wouldve seen me and my niggas in this bitch
~#**************#~
About two months in a weeks time
~#**************#~
Went from feelin hellish to godly with lemon-lime shine
~#**************#~
Now how the fuck can I chill now? Kanye think Im dope
~#**************#~
See this piece that I own now, how sick is the rope?
~#**************#~
Taking life for what it is, the troublesome chick
~#**************#~
Who throws fists; sometimes its the weather
~#**************#~
Things switch up, people trip up
~#**************#~
The money come down, then climb up, but when it come again
~#**************#~
The most creepin, deceivin, men are scheme-schemin
~#**************#~
Saying that you love me, I surely hope and if you dont
~#**************#~
Motherfuck that sometimes, so dead it
~#**************#~
Shred it; young nigga lost to the night
~#**************#~
Im so ready to let it go, my life is fucking awesome
~#**************#~
I could be fuckin dead right now, but Im awesome
~#**************#~
So fuck whoever has a bad thought dont know the god
~#**************#~
‘Cause when I leave this bitch you all gon wish you knew the God
~#**************#~
It might be too late, but the songs will live on
~#**************#~
Just know this fact, you were all wrong
~#**************#~
Now watch me do my silly dance, not really a dance
~#**************#~
More like a prance, Im signing off with a crotch grab
~#**************#~
[Outro: Kid Cudi]
